Donations still needed for Fayette’s first “honor flight”

Organizers, volunteers and veterans met at Fayetteville First United Methodist Church recently for their first meeting with Honor Flight Fayette in preparation for the upcoming May 14th flight to Washington, D.C., where they will tour the World War II Memorial.

Plans have been in the works for over 5 months to give WWII veterans a free day trip to the capitol, which will include airfare, food and ground transportation. Also traveling with this group will be medical personnel and guardians, all of whom paid their own way to help make this dream a reality for "the greatest generation."

Honor Flight Fayette is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, staffed solely by volunteers, whose only mission is to say thank you in a small way to the men and women who made our way of life possible at enormous cost to them.
